Whether
you choose a full-featured thoroughbred like Voyager, or the basic horse like
Explorer, your balance is equipped with a unique, user-friendly display module.
The major differences between the two series are:

Display (the Explorer has a LCD display with seven alphanumeric
characters while the Voyager offers a high
resolution backlit graphic display with contrast control and with pop-up
windows and menus to guide you through balance functions - display is a 240
x 128 dot matrix)

Calibration
software for balances purchased with internal cal option, Explorer
features InCal while Voyager offers AutoCal. We don't recommend internal cal since
it is really not a calibration since the internal mass is not a weight at
the full capacity of the balance - it's more like a calibration adjustment,
you can read more about this here. InCal allows the operator to press the "Setup"
& "Enter" buttons on the indicator and scroll through the LCD
prompts to perform the internal calibration (you control the calibration) while AutoCal featured with the Voyager equipped with internal cal with automatically do
the calibration for you. The software is designed when it senses a temperature
change significant enough to effect the performance of the balance to automatically
perform a calibration without you needing to press any buttons (you don't
control the calibration, but instead the embedded software does).
Autocal sounds great but it can cause problems when you really want to use
your balance. This is especially a major problem with the high
capacity balances (12kg, 22kg & 30kg) when used in asphalt applications
where the aggregate may be warm enough that when it is brought close to the
Explorer balance that you can't use it since the unit is constantly performing
the AutoCal.
The AutoCalcan be disengaged on all Explorer models with the exception
of the high capacity models.

Since
the balances are designed to be modular, upgrading is a snap. Simply pop in a higher-function
display module for instant access to advanced features such as a large, high
resolution back-lit display with pop-up windows and help text, 11 user-friendly
applications, and even a program link for running multiple applications simultaneously.

When
you choose any of the Explorer or Voyager series balances and purchase it
with the optional AS142 Ohaus impact printer you'll be able to print documentation
for GLP/GMP requirements at the touch
of a button. GLP with any of these balances couldn't be easier. The
end user has the ability to select the information to be printed in the GLP
format: Time & Date, Serial Number, Balance ID Number, Project Number,
Automatic Calibration Printout/Verification, and even a place for a signature.
The security of a fully documented audit trail is available at the push
of a button.

Whether
you need the basic features of Explorer or the advanced features of Voyager,
Ohaus' new series of balances will meet your expectations and needs.
Never obsolete. As your needs change, upgrade from Explorer to Voyager
by simply snapping in a higher-function display module, for instant access
to advanced features. Flexible modular remote display and keypad give
you even greater workspace options. Both
series provides you with a newly engineered ergonomic leveling system and
sleek case designed for easy cleanups. Below is a comparison of the
Voyager and Explorer to help assist in your decision on your next new balance
purchase.
